Phish Phood in Phuket

// November 3rd, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Uncategorized

So… had a bit of a strange experience today. We’re in our final days in Phuket before we head up to Bangkok and the weather was a bit grey so we decided to head to some shopping malls and have a bit of a browse.

While wandering around we came across a Fish Foot Spa, which basically involves sticking your feet into a massive bowl of Doctor Fish (also called Garra Rufa) which then proceed to suck off all of the dead skin and dirt, leaving you with silky smooth, clean feet!

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but it felt pretty much like having 500 odd fish sucking on your feet – in other words, it tickled like hell! Afterwards, my feet felt really tingly and are now softer than they’ve ever been! Great experience – definitely worth a try!

Also, grabbed a quick video – enjoy!

Under the Sea – In Phi Phi!

// October 24th, 2009 // No Comments » // Uncategorized

Well… we’ve been here in Phi Phi, Thailand now for about 6 days and I’m totally and utterly relaxed. The place we’re staying in at the moment is pretty much paradise. We can see the beach from our bungalow and it’s literally a ten second walk down to the shore. Nothing relaxes you more than waking up to the sound of waves crashing on the beach!

In other news, Steph and I are both burnt to a crisp. I caught it on my shoulders on the ferry over from Phuket and then made it worse by spending all day in the Sea. Steph has managed to burn the back of her legs, shoulders and bum during our adventures today snorkling and looking at the marine life.

Speaking of snorkling, I finally got the chance to put my waterproof camera case and Stephs new Netbook to the test today – we made this little video of our first ever attempt at snorkling – Enjoy!
